Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 28, 2022 | 0

Netflix’s Blonde has been the center of controversy ever since the announcement that this Marilyn Monroe biopic would be rated NC-17. Now, the film is here, and the truth behind the speculation is revealed. Many early reviews from mainstream and access media sites have rated Blonde low, criticizin...

REVIEW: Pearl (2022)

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 20, 2022 | 0

Following Ti West’s lackluster horror film X, the announcement of a rapidly-released sequel seemed a poor idea destined to fail. The recent release of Pearl proved that to be utterly and entirely false. Pearl may be one of the best horror films in many years, focusing on character study an...
